Music Videos filmed in Prague

It makes me proud to see that 2 inspirational/influential music videos by Kanye West were filmed in my old stomping grounds! Ferni and Andre, our neighbors that lived below us, turned me onto these music videos, and I have watched them a few times since I have returned to the states as a means of catching a glimpse of Prague. A lot of people on my program actually saw the production set being set up for "No Church in the Wild", but "Blood Diamonds" was filmed a few years earlier. In "Blood Diamonds from Sierra Leone", Kanye shoots his video on the famous Charles Bridge, in the Cathedral of the Prague Castle, and in Old Town Square. This video is the less violent of the two videos. The "No Church in the Wild" video was shot near Narodni Divadlo, the National Theatre (with the gold roof) where we saw the Ballet, so it is really great to say that I lived here and even more amazing to recognize the locations throughout the videos!


Be forewarned, though, they aren't PG videos and include violence.
